Arsenal are joint favourites alongside West Ham United and Newcastle United to sign Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge.

Popular Bookmakers BETVictor have installed Arsenal as joint favourites alongside West Ham and Newcastle United in the race to sign Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge.

Sturridge joined Liverpool in the January transfer window of 2013, and has scored 46 goals in 89 league appearances for the Reds.

The 27-year-old England international is a class player, and one of the gifted forwards in the Premier League, but his injury problems remain a big headache for Jurgen Klopp.

Sturridge made only 12 Premier League appearances in 2014/15, 14 appearances in 2015/16 and 20 appearances last season.

The former Chelsea player has dropped down the pecking order behind Roberto Firmino, while Klopp has the likes of Divock Origi, Danny Ings, and Dominic Solanke as other strikers at his disposal.

However, BetVictor believe that there could be a possibility that Sturridge could leave Anfield in the summer transfer window, and Arsenal could be willing to snap him up.

To be honest, the chances of Liverpool selling a top talent to one of their direct rivals is slim. Moreover, the Gunners have bolstered their strike department by adding Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon, and Arsene Wenger probably won’t be spending on another striker.
